### 💻 Code
```ts
type Definitions = {
onFoo: [arg: number];
onBar: [arg: string];
};
type SomeCallbacks = {
[K in keyof Definitions]: (...args: Definitions[K]) => void;
};
const wrapCallback = (
source: SomeCallbacks,
target: SomeCallbacks,
key: K,
) => {
const callback = source[key];
target[key] = (...args) => {
if (Math.random() > 0.5) {
return callback(...args);
}
};
};
function wrapAll(callbacks: SomeCallbacks): SomeCallbacks {
const wrapped = {} as SomeCallbacks;
for (let key in callbacks) {
wrapCallback(callbacks, wrapped, key as keyof SomeCallbacks);
}
return wrapped;
}
```
### 🙁 Actual behavior
It fails to recognize that this function is assignable to `target[key]` despite the fact that `args` are contextually-typed by that `target[key]`
### 🙂 Expected behavior
I'd expect this to typecheck just fine

Research direction
Start by reproducing the error in the linked TypeScript Playground using the provided correlated-union and mapped-type example. Trace the type-checking path for the contextually typed callback and its assignment to target[key]; done means the example typechecks as expected without weakening the reported type relationships.
